There's actually nothing much to tell you here. An unknown Nokia flip phone has just passed the FCC. Seeing how it has the 850 / 1900MHz bands, this phone will have 3G support and will be launched on AT&T. Engadget also points out that it has "a dedicated Telenav button" which means that this phone will also have GPS support. Nothing else is known about this handset, not even the name.

The title pretty much says it all. Verizon is planning to test out their new 4G (LTE) network in Seattle and Boston sometime by the end of this year. If the Apple tablet gets launched in September, it might not launch on Verizon, since they're too slow. Maybe Apple will delay their tablet for them, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Here's another photo of the Pegatron Freescale notebook that we spotted back at Computex 2009 in June. This time, you may notice the smartphone beside it, it's the Palm Pre. Apparently, they put these two devices together because they both use the same ARM Cortex A8 architecture. But, the Pegatron Freescale iMX515 notebook has it clocking at 1GHz. This notebook is said to have 3G / GPS support, Bluetooth, WiFi, and 720p capability. This notebook is also capable of playing 3D games and the battery is said to last over 8 hours. However, it still doesn't look like this notebook will get a release in the near future, so don't get your hopes up.

It's a pretty low-end Android handset from Philips. All that's known about the handset so far is that it has a 3.2-inch touchscreen HVGA display and a 3.2MP camera with video recording. According to Engadget, this handset will probably be Xenium-branded The whole spec sheet is still unknown and as you might already suspect, the pricing and release date hasn't been mentioned yet.

We already know that the Acer Aspire One Pro 531 is official, but we finally have the pricing on this notebook. But first, the Aspire One Pro 531 has a couple of specs you can change to whatever you want. The Aspire One Pro 531 has: up to 2GB of RAM and a 160 / 250GB HDD / 64GB SSD. Depending on what you choose, the price of this notebook can range anywhere between £300 ($495 USD) and £460 ($759 USD). Acer has promised that there will be a model with 3G in the future, so maybe you want to wait for that.

Acer has also announced their new nettop, the Veriton N260G. Like the picture above, you can mount it to the back of your monitor so that it's out of sight. This nettop has: an Atom CPU, up to 2GB of RAM, up to a 160GB HDD, WiFi, an HDMI output, and comes pre-installed with either Vista, XP, or Linux. Thankfully, this nettop doesn't suck too much power and it's pretty cheap. There will be two versions, the home edition and the pro edition and they will be going for £200 ($330 USD) and £290 ($478 USD), respectively. Unfortunately, the release date hasn't been mentioned yet.

If you don't know, Sony produced around 500,000 PlayStation 3's this Spring, but they are reportedly producing 1 million PlayStation 3's this Summer. Strange, isn't it? Apparently, this recent push could mean that they are planning to produce the Slim PS3 - and release it this Fall. This somewhat lines up with every rumour we've heard of before - well except for the one where it's supposed to be bundled with Madden next month. It could also hint at a possible price cut in the near future, but we don't know yet. These are just all rumours and speculations.

This morning Averatec released a sexy new 13.3-inch N3400 notebook and they have just updated their D1100-series of all-in-one PCs. The new D1133 all-in-one PC has: an 18.4-inch display with a 1,680 x 945 resolution, AMD's 1.5GHz Athlon X2 3250e CPU, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB HDD, WiFi b/g, gigabit Ethernet, a DVD burner, a 1.3MP webcam, a 4-in-1 card reader, and four USB 2.0 slots. It's available now with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit and comes with a matching keyboard and mouse. You can check it out on Averatec's official website now for $599.99 USD.

The rumour mill is somehow currently still functioning. All the talks about refreshed iPods set for a September launch and I'm sure no one has forgotten about Apple's godly tablet, right? Well, apparently, Toshiba is currently producing a bunch of flash memory chips; these chips are supposedly headed to Apple. I wonder what these could be for? New iPods? Their new tablet? Possibly and probably both. We'll just have to wait for their overpriced products in the future. However, I am thinking about getting an iPod Touch with a camera, it'll be my personal spy cam. More profits for Apple. Joy!

Philips has just announced their latest LCD TVs set for a UK launch this month - it's the new 9664 series. The new 42 and 47-inch models have: 200Hz Clear LCD technology, a 1ms response time, Perfect Pixel HD and Ambilight Spectra 2 engines, an 80,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and NetTV wireless Internet access.

"Sounds-wise there's 2 x 15W output from four speakers while looks-wise the TVs get a high-quality brushed aluminum charcoal grey surround." These TVs also have five HDMI inputs and measure just under 5cm thick. The 42-inch (42PFL9664) and 47-inch (47PFL9664) models will be available by the end of this month for £1,699 ($2,803 USD) and £1,999 ($3,298 USD), respectively.

That's the latest rumour. You may remember the Mintpass Mintpad; it hit Taiwan for around $143 USD running Windows CE. The latest rumour though, mentions that Mintpass may be considering using Android for their next Mintpad. The last Mintpad had a 2.9-inch touchscreen and a plastic body.

An account executive over at Mintpass has just mentioned that, "I can tell you that the next generation mintpass will be quite high in specification, though." This is a good thing, seeing how the first model already had support for Adobe Flash. The next model is expected to have a larger screen, metal body, GPS support, and WiBro (WiMAX in Korea). I'm excited to see how much they improve the next model, especially if they have it running Android.

Call it a notebook or a netbook, but the 11.6-inch Acer Aspire Timeline 1810T is going to be available in two to three weeks. It's available for pre-orders now for €499 ($708 USD). Just to recap, the Timeline 1810T has: an 11.6-inch LED-backlit display with a 1,366 x 768 resolution, a 1.4GHz Intel ULV CPU, Intel GMA 4500 graphics, up to 4GB of RAM, a 250GB HDD, three USB 2.0 ports, a microphone / headphone jack, Bluetooth 2.1, HDMI out, a 5-in-1 card reader, and optional 3G. It runs Windows Vista, but will have a free upgrade to Windows 7.

Averatec has just released their latest 13-inch notebook offering, the N3400. This notebook has an aluminum shell and still manages to be one of the thinnest and lightest notebooks in its class. It is only 0.98-inches at its thickest point and weighs only 3.8-pounds. They managed to do this by "bundling a USB-based external DVD burner instead of adding weight to the system's insides."

The Averatec N3400 notebooks has: a 13-inch display, a 2.16 Pentium dual-core CPU, Intel's GMA 4500 graphics, 3GB of RAM, a 250GB HDD, WiFi 802.11n, Bluetooth, and a 1.3MP webcam. It's now available on TriGem for just $799 USD.

According to T-Mobile's official Twitter account, the G2 Touch aka HTC Hero will be available online tomorrow and will be available in stores "over the next few days." At least this is a bit earlier than the supposed August release date. Looks out for it online tomorrow; I'll update this post with a link to the G2 Touch. If the pricing stays the same as they mentioned before, it will hit T-Mobile for free on their new Flext contract which is £40 ($65 USD) a month.

Below, there is a video showing off the UI of the upcoming Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2. It's a six minute video that shows Sony Ericsson's customized WinMo 6.5 UI, called the "Panels" UI. You may not have known this, but the XPERIA X2 is actually codenamed the "Vulcan". Enjoy the video below.

Finally! RIM has just officially announced the BlackBerry Curve 8520. You can check it out on Blackberry's official website if you like. The Curve 8520 will be hitting Vodafone UK for free, as long as you sign a contract that makes you pay at least £25 ($41 USD) a month. It will also be hitting T-Mobile and Wal-Mart on August 5th, but the prices are still unknown. It should be available everywhere sometime in [probably early] August. For Mac OS X users, the Curve 8520 will come with "out of the box" Mac support, so Boy Genius points out that we could see a Mac version of Desktop Manager in the near future.

According to Financial Times, the latest rumour is that Apple will be launching its tablet with their refreshed iPods as early as this September. This tablet will, of course, have WiFi and it's codenamed "Cocktail". This tablet will be sporting a 10-inch [probably capacitive multi-touchscreen] display and it will run on the iPhone OS. What makes this even more interesting is that it will "also have a book marketplace" so you can say goodbye to the Kindle by the end of the year - if the rumour is true. Remember, it's just a rumour, so don't cry if the Apple tablet doesn't come out in under two months.
